The world needs a clone of this man! I've been to many pain specialists and orthopedic surgeons for my back. In the short amount of time I have been treated by him, he has relieved my back pain significantly. He is very skilled but very humble. Refreshing!

Dr. Whalen is by far one of the best doctors I have seen in a very long time. He takes the time to ask questions and he actually listens to what you have to say. He doesn't make you feel like you are bothering him by being there. He diagnosed me correctly the first time and his treatment recommendations were right on. I am so thankful I found Dr. Whalen!

Dr. Whalen is by far one of the best Doctors I have ever seen. He takes the time to take to talk and ask about your mental and physical well being. He doesn't just hand over meds which is what many patients want. He isn't perfect but I think he tries his best to make people feel better. I know he has helped me a great deal.

I love Dr. Whalen. There is no doctor I have ever seen quit like him. No other doctor will be able to replace him. He is funny, polite, caring, smart, skilled, and extremely knowledgable. He does procedures most doctors donf know how to do and he makes sure you never feel pain when he does procedures. Most pain docs don't care they do it and could careless if you hurt, he cares and never wants you in pain. There will never be any pain doc that compares to his skill and kindness.

He always takes the time to care.He has helped me immensley when no other Dr's did.
